Ex-Chelsea boss Hiddink helped Arsenal land Andre Santos

The People says Turkey coach Hiddink was busy in the final days of the summer market, playing a significant role in the switch of Brazilian left-back Andre Santos to the Emirates from Fenerbahce - as Arsenal looked for last-minute solutions to defensive problems.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger spent transfer deadline day in Geneva, though the club has stressed he played a major role in a raft of signings via phone and e-mail.
